This is an open access book which explores phenomenology as both an exceptionally diverse movement in philosophy as well as an active research method that crosses disciplinary boundaries. The volume ...brings together lively overviews of major areas and schools of phenomenology, as well as the most recent applications across a range of fields. The first part reviews the state-of-the-art in various areas of contemporary phenomenology, including several distinct schools of Husserl and Heidegger scholarship, as well as approaches derived from Merleau-Ponty, de Beauvoir, Fanon, and others. An innovative quantitative analysis of citation networks provides rich visualizations of the field as a whole. The second part showcases phenomenology as a living discipline that can advance research in other areas. While some areas of interaction between phenomenology and other disciplines are by now well established (e.g. cognitive science), this volume sheds light on newer areas of application. The goal is to move beyond discussions of philosophical method and highlight scholars who are actually doing phenomenology in a variety of areas, including: Embodiment and questions of gender, race, and identity, The arts (visual art, literature, architecture), and Archaeology and anthropology. This volume offers a concise introduction to cutting edge phenomenological research and is suitable for both students and specialists.
This article presents an excerpt from the results of a research financed by FAPESP (Fapesp Process: no. 2012 / 50681-1), which is shared by one of the authors with the rest of this work, they ...developed a investigation on a case study with the aim of showing possible contribution of the phenomenological method to the understanding of inclusive processes. In school realities it can be evidenced inclusive movements of people concerned and committed to the cause, however, they do not account for the inclusive process in its entirety, due to the lack of adherence of those who make up the structure and culture of the school and the person who wants to be included and had not been consulted. It is assumed that, understanding the phenomenological method, this is a possible path for the formation of the inclusive subject, as it enables the understanding of inclusive processes, more specifically, the starting point: gnosiological, ontological and psychological knowledge of the people involved.
This paper intends to analyze the question of the embodied subjectivity in Emmanuel Levinas’s work, starting from a specific point of view: the controversial reception of Husserl’s phenomenology. In ...the early period of his confrontation with Husserl, Levinas criticizes the excess of theoreticism in transcendental idealism. However, he then seems to discover right inside of it the conditions to bring the philosophical debate out of the limits of knowledge theory. This is when he recognizes the important role played by the body in the husserlian description of the act of sense-giving (Sinngebung). Though, while praising Husserl for his conception of sensibility – as the “Commentaires nouveaux” clearly show – Levinas actually proceeds to an original rethinking of the meaning of incarnation, beyond the purity of the ego, and the supposed “property” of the flesh.

The article presents analyses of the manner in which “phantasy”, Marc Richir’s preferred concept of the imagination, can be observed and understood with clarity in relation to the experience of ...music. By elaborating examples of musical experience, to which Richir refers in his analyses of phantasy, it is shown that phantasy expresses itself as the originally affective dimension of experience, articulated by the correlation between the lived-bodiliness of phantasy (Phantasieleiblichkeit) and the sublime affectivity of the phenomenological apeiron. To this end, the systematic connection between music and phantasy, the concept of rhythm, the unique mobility of Phantasieleiblichkeit, and the sublime dimension of affectivity will be successively explored.
The purpose of this article is the phenomenological description of theatrical performance throughout the revision of some of the key-concepts of Hans Thies-Lehmann’s and Erika Fischer-Lichte’s ...reception theories from the perspective of Marc Richir’s thought concerning the architectonical transposition of experiencing. This revision includes the Freudian concept of “evenly hovering attention” (gleichschwebende Aufmerksamkeit) that Lehmann describes as the spectator’s optimal disposition of reception, and the concept of “perceptual multistability” which in Fischer-Lichte’s theory is meant to outline the spectator’s instability in the perception of the actor and the represented character. I will rethink the phenomenalization of the above mentioned phenomena primarily by introducing Marc Richir’s thoughts concerning the primacy of phantasia over perception and his description of the experience of the sublime. I will argue that the phenomenon of theatrical performance (in several cases) can be the ground of a collectively performed act of symbolic and aesthetic Stiftung.
The goal of this essay is to suggest some elements for a phenomenological critique of ideology, based on the philosophy of affectivity proposed by Maine de Biran at the beginning of the XIX century. ...It also draws on the work of the Belgian phenomenologist Marc Richir, who developed some of the concepts postulated by Maine de Biran into a theory of intersubjective affectivity centered on the concept of contagion. The last part is an attempt to use these concepts for a critical analysis of the influence advertisements have on our affective disposition and how said influence modifies our phenomenological comprehension of the world.
This paper aims to examine the impact and overlap of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas in connection with the issue of determining others in contemporary modern society, especially in relation to ...ethical theoretical background and real political practice. This paper aims to relate Levinasian philosophy to the phenomena of contemporary modern society, specifically, its ethics and political practice. This paper intends to capture the relevance of Levinasian philosophy to our current political and religious conflicts, the issue of refugees, immigrants, and the phenomenon of mass migration. In a broader sense, it also reflects upon the issues of racism and globalization as pertinent issues in our current age.
